Lyrics
WHERE DO ANGELS GO
© 2002, Kevin Nelson, Jennifer Noble, Howie Moscovitch
Where do angels go?
Verse 1
She lifted up his eyes with her last smile
She knew that smile would have to last him for awhile
She passed along what she had left,
Her strength, her will, her tenderness,
Our baby boy grew up today
And in his freckled, tremblin voice I heard him say
Chorus
WHERE DO ANGELS GO to learn to fly
To catch a breeze as it passes by
Do they play hide and seek high in the sky
How could all our love not be enough
To keep her with the two of us
WHERE DO ANGELS GO to learn to fly, learn to fly
WHERE DO ANGELS GO
Verse 2
We made our vows together, hand in hand
And why death would part us, I can't understand
I will raise my son to hold
The love she had 'til he grows old
This baby boy grew up today
I heard a lonely, frightened child inside me say:
Chorus
WHERE DO ANGELS GO to learn to fly
To catch a breeze as it passes by
Do they play hide and seek high in the sky
Why do those we love and need so much
Become the light we cannot touch
WHERE DO ANGELS GO to learn to fly, learn to fly
WHERE DO ANGELS GO
Bridge
My son, go ahead and cry
Let your mama's spirit dry your achin' eyes
Somewhere, she's watchin' over you
This isn't goodbye -
She's learning to fly
Chorus
WHERE DO ANGELS GO to learn to fly
To catch a breeze as it passes by
Do they play hide and seek high in the sky
Why do those we love and need so much
Become the light we cannot touch
WHERE DO ANGELS GO to learn to fly, learn to fly
WHERE DO ANGELS GO
